Bryant Park Tree Lighting Skate-tacular 2017

Holiday kick-off festivities roll on this Friday with the annual Bryant Park Tree Lighting. As all New Yorker’s know, the Bryant Park winter village and ice skating rink is a wonderful place to visit this time of the year and tomorrow’s skate-tacular is no different!

Events

This year the organizers will be lighting the tree in style with ice skating performances and much more starting at 6pm. The festivities will feature an ice-skating show starring World Champions and Olympian skaters Kimmie Meissner, Meryl Davis and Charlie White as well as Jeff Buttle. The legendary Johnny Weir will also hit the 17,000-square-foot rink. The evening will be hosted by Tony Award winning and Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress, Jane Krakowski. And after the festivities conclude with free ice skating for all!
